Every pro's glove, with sources
How we counted
- We count each researched player once, using the glove on their player page. Players whose glove is unknown are left out, not guessed.
- Every entry links to a source: a sponsor page, a press release, the player's own store, or a dated video. Forum posts alone never count.
- high and medium entries come from the player, the sponsor, or a reputable secondary source. low entries come from older sources (over 12 months) or retail stock specs.
- Most pros play what their sponsor makes, so these counts mostly reflect sponsorships. Our list covers the WPA top 50 men and top 25 women, recent major winners and the best-known legends. It is not the whole tour.
- This is a count of what pros use, not a "best glove" ranking. Full methodology.
